    I’m not an authority. I’m just giving my own personal experience. I don’t think the idea people get from the media is accurate. Every country has it’s pros and it’s cons. China is no different. It’s not North Korea.

          pretty much. i think you can argue every country on earth has had human rights abuses at some point in its history.

            I am not gonna be like “China is ultimate utopia”, but I don’t see it as a lesser country to the USA or the UK

              To the US I can understand, but why the UK? Surely free healthcare more rights makes the UK overall better?

                Infrastructure there is better in some aspects and development is faster. I don’t really want to leave the UK though anyway. Like the UK has problems and I don’t see them going away anytime soon. While China appears to actually try and aim to fix problems with infrastructure, etc. Some people I knew went to China 10+ years ago, and they had issues with the likes of smog, people’s manners and public toilets which were not the case by the time I went. (Except the public toilets there are still not very nice)

                  Do you think it’s possible that you’re only seeing the shit because you know the UK better than China?
